No grade for internationals?

<p>@MITChris</p>

<p>Yay new material to read! hehe :)</p>

<p>However Chris, while I can’t say anything about the actual statistics, most people are thinking about applying after highschool in my region of the world(Turkey), if they are planning to apply at all :slight_smile: Personally, I’m eligible for Early Action, so EA to go :D</p>

<p>The situation is that, in countries where the whole admission system is based on university entrance exams, it simply becomes a “gamble” to study & learn foreign material/curriculum as they usually differ and to spend time for the whole application proccess even just for one university because of the uncertainity in the U.S. admission system and that they usually get one shot at the national university entrance exams here.</p>

<p>Here, those who apply for U.S. institutes are those who study in American private highschools or highschools that are primarily focused to send students to U.S. institutes. I’m not at such a school, so I’m a little unique in this way :slight_smile: It might be a gamble, however I’m willing to take the risks. Simply, you can’t expect this philosphy from everyone. The teachers do not encourage at all and they simply don’t care that you need to study on two curriculums at the same time.</p>

<p>As a side note :slight_smile: If you are updating the content on the website, I’d really appreciate more explanation on the issue about translation of required documents such as transcript, teacher evaluation forms etc… Should we give translated copies of teacher evaluation forms to teachers and have them translated back? Can applicant translate or an official translation is necessary? Thanks :D</p>
